The hotel is located on a pretty, quiet hillside, slightly away from the main road and is housed in a beautiful tiled building. The interior was nice Our room was spacious, neat and well-lit The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was of adequate size; it was clean and had adequate toiletries and neat towels The breakfast was wholesome and nice. When we checked in late at night, there were no members of the staff available at the desk but, that evening, they had sent us adequate, clear directions by email on how to check in by ourselves. We did so without any hitch.
Nothing of note

We had one of the smaller rooms and it was very spacious (especially compared with some of the accommodation we've stayed in in Iceland). Plenty of room to have a couple of suitcases open (up on a bench), large desk (that could seat two people), plenty of room around the large double bed and a spacious bathroom. The staff were just wonderful and very accommodating. We ate in their small restaurant. Everything was delicious. Their menu isn't large, but what they provide is first class. Breakfast was also plentiful, varied and delicious. We'd certainly stay here again, and recommend it to our friends.
We couldn't work out how to reduce the temperature in our room (couldn't find the radiator or thermostat) so had to open a window to cool the room down so we could sleep. This is a common problem in Iceland where the rooms are invariably overheated. It would have been nice to have additional pillows to use and/or choose from to help sleep...but these are small issues and our stay was great.

Out of Vik in the countryside with great views and tranquility. Not far from Vik to enjoy activities, but far enough distant to be away. Room and common area clean and very Nordic. Breakfast was excellent- great choices and very good coffee. We had dinner at the hotel and it was excellent. Local ingredients in an Icelandic presentation. Not a lot of choices, but that can be a good thing. Staff was attentive and personable, while being professional.
Nothing.

The volcano-themed decor was unique! Our room was very spacious and had huge windows with a distance view of the ocean. The staff were helpful, welcoming and obliging no matter how busy. The beds were very comfortable and the blackout curtains made it easy to get a great night's sleep. Dinner was delicious. It was expertly cooked and presented. The included breakfast buffet was amazing with freshly baked bread, hotcakes, scrambled eggs as well as cereal, yoghurt, fruit juice, sliced cheeses, meats, pastries and more! We feel very lucky to have been able to book in at short notice. It was a fabulous place to stay.

Very spacious room. Big comfortable beds. Very quiet area. Shower was very hot after a day exploring outside. Breakfast was also wonderful with a good variety. The young woman working there was super friendly and knowledgeable with great suggestions of the area. She seemed to be the only one working as she greeted us, cleaned the room and made the breakfast. Seemed to enjoy herself. Highly recommend staying here!
Honestly not much at all. Maybe having a bigger garbage can in the room, as your hiking all day and you need a place to put all your trash.

Really nice hotel located just before the town of Vik very close to the main road, but away from it enough not to hear any cars! While seems basic, the rooms are very comfortable and "roomy" to have a good stay! They have a small menu with on-demand dinner, and oh boy that was one of the most tastiest Char fish I have ever had - delicious!
Overall was all good, the only thing breakfast selection is too small!

The Volcano is a wonderful boutique hotel a short drive west of Vik. It has beautiful views of mountains and the ocean. The room was very clean and comfortable. Kolla, the proprietor, was the jewel of the stay. Very warm and welcoming and made us a delicious arctic char dinner. Ie would highly recommend having dinner at the hotel.
If there is one thing I would change about our stay, it is that our bed was actually two twin beds pushed together. Very comfortable beds, but with a split in the middle.

The room was spacious, clean and quiet. The bed and bedding was comfortable. It was nice to have the option to order food in advance for dinner, because the location is rural. We ate onsite the first night and stopped in Vik at the end of the next day to grab dinner there before we headed back to the hotel for the evening. Breakfast was adequate / normal European offerings and they offered to make fresh scrambled eggs, which was a nice touch. The staff was helpful in answering questions about the area. Availability of onsite parking was convenient.
We enjoyed the property, but it is important to understand that it is about 10 KM from Vik, so if you’re looking for shopping or restaurants, just know that you’ll need to drive to town for those things - which was no problem for us. We actually liked the peace and quiet of the location.

Very spacious, staff was very friendly, location was great for sight seeing! My child sleep on a makeshift bed that was a little hard. One of the staff brought her something like an egg crate while we were out and made the bed up for her! Breakfast was breads, jams, eggs, coffee… just right for the morning.

The property is very modern and clean. It was the nicest place we stayed while in Iceland. Veronica and the gal who's from Greece (I apologize for forgetting her name) were very friendly and conversational. In fact, they were the friendliest young people with whom we spoke all week.
The day before, we stayed at the Hotel Skaftafell. They had an excellent breakfast buffet. This one was adequate; but, when our son asked whether he could have an additional two scrambled eggs, he was told that only two are allowed per person. Considering the price of the hotel and the fact that we aren't huge eaters, we were disappointed about that fact.
